      She could have thrown down a rope, but he still had to pick it up. Instead she just stated some platitudes and walked away.

      People can help support us when we’re struggling, even if they can’t fix it alone. But they have to put more effort than platitudes.

      if you got some good friends i,m pretty sure it could help. but if your on your own alone. well. it cost me half of the last year getting back to some kind of normal state but the meds left there marks. heard all that platitudes more than one time. sometimes its better to get rid of the people around you so nobody can hurt you. i left them all far behind me. so i,m not afraid of anything anymore. i,m not sure about the future, but i got some goals to reach for the next years

      Some people never find their way out and then leave friends and family wondering what they could have done better to help…

    The only thing missing is the platitudes-spouter saying something with the most evil two words, “You SHOULD JUST …” As if it is that easy.

    Clay, from where did you get the pit or well analogy? I think Brené Brown mentioned once to explain empathy, sympathy and codependency. Thought you might’ve gotten it from her, or perhaps the analogy was used before her.

    Also, did you finish all the tapes? Haha

      I got the metaphor straight away. You recognise it especially when the meds start to kick in

    I always thought that I was the only one that visualized my depression as a hole that you can’t get out of. Glad to know that I wasn’t alone

    Luiz Fernando você sabia que agora é obrigatório ajudar pessoas com depressão mesmo que não tenha nenhuma forma de fazer isso além de dizer coisas positivas e indicar tratamento psicológico?
    como se tratar depressão fosse algo fácil de resolver como jogar uma corda pra alguém num buraco
    Infelizmente a internet tornou todo mundo otário

    This comic is kind of funny, because I’ve always ENVIED the relationship these two had. I’d appreciate anyone who could constantly and consistently put up with my depressed self and still like me as a friend and want to help (as these two characters have been), even if all that friend had to say was cheesy generic unhelpful Depression Advice™. At least SOMEONE is visiting the hole, right? Even if they can’t help? It would show me someone cares, and that they’re thinking about me, and that would give me HOPE. But that’s probably just me. Unless I was providing that friend with more effort and depth and help towards their problems than they were with me, in which case half-assed advice like this after all I’d done would make me want to STRANGLE them, lol. But a casual friendship like this? …….*sigh*

    This reminds me of the most tone-deaf scene in modern Doctor Who.

      Looking at it again, it comes across like a parody of people who haven’t been there giving terrible advice.

    This is “thoughts and prayers” in action.

    A guy is walking along a path when he suddenly lands in a hole. A doctor walks by. The guy asks if the doctor can help. The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down the hole and moves along. Then a preacher comes along. Again, the guy asks for help, but the preacher says a prayer for the man and moves on. Finally, a friend walks by. “Hey, it’s me,” the guy says, “can you help me get out of here?” The friend jumps in the hole. “What did you do that for?” Says the man, “now we’re both stuck in this hole.” The friend replies, “don’t worry, I’ve been here before and I know the way out.”
